"Nanny Adelaide!"
Florate screamed, obviously perplexed about Lilith's condition.
"Nanny Adelaide!"
He kept calling his nanny immediately he entered the main doors of the clinic and couldn't stop yelling till he found her. She was not attending to anyone, so she was free and walked around to check how the others were doing. She was clearly startled by the way he was screaming her name but before she could ask why, she noticed he was carrying a lifeless girl in his arms.
"Oh my goodness!" she gasped before running towards him immediately while he too ran to meet her.
"Thelma?" she called a nurse she had been walking around with.
"Yes, Nurse Adelaide."
"Get a stretcher immediately!"
At her order, the young nurse left to do as she was told.
"Nanny..." Florate found it hard to explain when he got close to his nanny; he was already out of breath too.
"What is it, Florate? Tell me! What happened to her?"
"Nanny, this is my friend Lilith. I don't know, I just found her like this, lying on the floor in her room. I don't know what happened, nanny," he looked really sad and in pain right now. Lilith may not be his girlfriend but being friends with someone for four years gives the person a space in your heart and Lilith had earned that space, big time.
"It is okay, my boy," she wiped his face with her palm. "She will be alright."
In no time, the stretcher arrived and he gently placed Lilith on it after which she was taken away.
"We will handle it from here now. Go get some rest or better still, visit Rain. She has been unsteady for some time now. I believe her internal pains are still persistent and her body needs time to adjust to the new medication we gave her." She pecked his cheeks lightly before going away with the other nurses to attend to Lilith.
Immediately she left, he did not hesitate for one second before leaving to see Rain. He walked fast, not minding to attend to any distractions on his way. He got to the door leading to where she stayed and opened it widely without knocking. He was just too occupied right now to think about those things. He had unwell Rain and lifeless Lilith to worry about, so knocking certainly wasn't a big deal at this moment.
He walked in immediately to meet her breathing hard, sinking her head into the pillow and squeezing the sheets around her hands and her toes curling at the same time with her eyes closed.
Looking at her now, he could help but think within him, 'Is she having a bad dream?' But then he remembered what his nanny had told him, her body was just having a bad time accepting the medication she was given and that was causing her so much pain right now.
He rushed to her aid immediately and held her hand with one hand while the other cleaned the sweat off her face. "Rain? Rain?" he felt her hand grow cold and her breathing was becoming very unsteady with each passing second.
"Rain, I am here." He got on the bed with her and laid down beside her, holding her tight against his body. "It is fine, just calm down," he spoke to her ear in a very calm and soothing voice. "Your body will soon adjust to its effects, you will be fine, trust me." He kissed her hair.
"Florate?" she mumbled.
"Yes, I am here." He pulled her closer to him, making their bodies gum to each other.
"Florate, I bore the pain and brought him down finally," she said in a voice he could barely hear but he understood what she was saying and he felt very hurt within him.
"You are unbelievable, love. I asked you to quit once the pain became unbearable but you remained in that combat and caused yourself this much hurt. Why, Rain? Why?" he asked her with his eyes getting teary.
"I was just being too scared to fail without at least trying my best. I knew my internal injuries were still severe but I couldn't just quit the match, you know that will cost me repeating a whole level and... I am sure none of us would want that." She smiled faintly. "I had to bear the pain, love. I just had to."…
